PrIsnn life In sIh.rIn.

Prison life in Siberia is of many varie- ties. according Co the Offense of different individuals and the sentences which have been dccresd in their eases. The lowest sentence is Co simple punishment for three years, and the highest Co hard labor for life. The simple exile without imprisOn- meut is appointed to live in a certain town. district or province, and must re port Co the police at stated intervals. He may engage in certain specified OCcupa- tons. or rather in any occupation which is not on a prohibited list; for example. he may teach music or painting, but he may not teach languages, as they afford the Op- portunity for propagating revolutionary ideas He may become merchant, farmer. mechanic, contractor or anything else oS that sort. and 1t not intrequently happens that prison exiles enjoy @ degree of pros perity in their new homes that they did not have in European Russia. Exiles and their sons have become milliOnaires in Siberia; a former Vanderbilt of lrkOOtsk, the capital of Eastern Siberia, was the son of an exile serf, his enormous fortune having been gained in the overland tea trade
 Many exiles become SO attached to Si- bcril that they remain there after their term of bauishment Is ended, but it should be understood that their cases are the ex- captions rather than the rule. The wife and immature children of an exile may follow or accompany him at the expense of the government, but cannot return to Europe until his term of service has ex- pred The object of exile Is to furnish a population Co this sparsely inhabited re- -iol. and 1t goes without saying that a family man is much more likely to be a good citizen when his wife and children are with him than when they are thou sands of miles away. The name of ''pris- oner'' or exile is never applied tO the banished individuals; in the language of the people they arc called ''unfortUnates, 70 and in official documents they are termed involuntary emigrgnts. ."-Thomas W.

Beef Refrig,rators

The committee of stockmen appoint ed by the Texas Live Stock Association to select po!nt at which to locate beef refrigeratIng works, have decided 10 recommend the city of Houston.
 Taking into consideration the exceed ingly liberal offer made by the buslness men of Houston, the committee have doubtless made the best selection.
 If the stockmen can now succeed in getting their share of the capital stock subscribed, the works will be built at once.
 Now the question very naturally arises, will it pay? to which the Inter Republics ventures the following an swer:
 market can be found for the beef refrigerated where il will not come m contact with the Chicago dressed beei. the business will be s success, otherwise 1t will not, The theory IS a correct one -Ibat is, the meat can be successfully handled in this way, m fact 1t is an Im- pr1vement over the old way ot handling beef, this is a fact well understood and fully admitted by all. The trouble and only barrier to success is the deep hid. we'll planned and thoroughly sys- tematlzed monopoly of what Is usually termed the "big foIr" in Chicago. | These gentleman control the beef mar l ket of the United States and will ID the future as in the past continue to at once wipe ont all competition that may coms in the wsy.

How Seal Meat is Cooked.

Seal meat as cooked by the natives Is of a dirty brick red tint, owing to the fact that when killed the seal is simply skinned, the blood remaining in the car cass, acting as a cOlOring matter to the meat. To unaccustOmed stOmachs seal meat is unpalatable, its taste resembling fish more than flesh, while the oily odor Is of course prevalent; but if when newly caught a seal is bled and the flesh allowed to soak for a few hours, the meat, either fried or baked, becomes palatable When frozen there is scarcely any flavor percep. tible in the meat.
 One of the sights that a warm spring in the month of May affords to the observer. Is the number of seals that cover the ice. Young pups, scarcely a month old, lie in proximity to their dams, sometimes wan dering away from their air holes and ut tering plaiujive cries like the bleat of a lamb. At this season of the year the pups can be taken with the hand. and the sled dogs make excursions upon the ice for the purpose of catching these helpless little animals, which are scarcely larger than a young lamb.-San Francesca Chronicle

New Placer Mines.

Mir. T. c. Jones came in from the Humbolt camp this morning with 8 small quantity of very fine placer gold taken from 0 new discovery in the Bsboquivaris, called SeIton's Gulch. after John Sexton, who IS associated with NIT, Jones. The discovery Of placer gold in paying quantities was made only last week and & dozen or more claims have already been located, and twenty men are at work on them. The gold is found pretty uniformly from the grass roots down 10 the cement bedrock, from two to three feet deep, and SO far ss worked the dirt yields from one cent to twenty-five cents per pan.
 The only obstacle to the profitable working of these mines IS the lack of water. NIT. Jones hauled his gravel to Andrews place where he obtained sui ficent water 10 run a rocker, By hauling with a wagon he says s per day to the man can be made easily. The miners now in the gulch are dry washing, but as much Of the gold Is very fine, thIs process en- tails considerable loss ID the precious metal.

What Trne Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's German Syrup within few years, has sstonished the world. It Is without a doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the seyerest Lung troubles. It acts on sn entirely different principle from the usual pres criptions given by Physicians, as 1t does not dry up Cough and leave the disease still m the system, but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected and leaves them ID a purely healthy condition. A bottle kept in the house for use when the diseases make their appearance, will save doctors bills and long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you Of these facts. It Is positively sold by all druggists and general dealers m the land. Price, I5 cents, large bottles.

4 Good School.

One of the most fiousishing schools in the county is that at San XavIer, con ducted by MT c. H. Fully. II IS DO. the Indian school that Is maintained at the Papsgo reservation, but the regular public school. There are 39 regular scholars enrolled and the average at tendance IS g. The school treasury sl- ways has a surplus of funds and its at- fairs are administered with an economy that reflects credit upon the trustees. It IS said that there is not another school in the county whose trustees devote so much of their individual attention to its affairs. Mir. J. M. Berger, one of the trustees, has had the school grounds fenced with a good wire fence, at an ex- pense only of the cost of the wire; he also keeps everything in repair about hepremises without calling upon the school funds to pay for them. Under such circumstances the San Xavier school IS bound to prosper and will never cut its term of tuition short for want of funds

A Contrast.

The San Bernardino Courier esti- mates the cost of bringing a ten-acre orange orchard in Southern California up to the end of the fifth year, to be, including the cost of the ten acres of land, S3.50O. This is s fair estimate for Southern California. In Arizona, however, man can secure l60 acres of land. just Rs rich and in a climate bet ter adapted to the orange, put out ten acres to oranges, care for them to the end of the fifth year, and have S1, 100 left ot hls original S3,500. If he wishes to utilize q portion of his remaining land while bringing his ten acre orange orchard into bearing, he can easily do so. He would do well to SOW lO0-acre patch of alfalfa, put out ten acre vine yard, ten acres to other varieties of fruitE, and then have forty acres left for miscellaneous purposes. h the valleys Of the Glla and the Colorado alfalfa IS cut, on sn average, seven times year 1 and turns oil never less than two tons per acre per cutting. It wlll do this the ! second year after sowing if well Rtten led | to, This gIyes Us 400 tons per year from the alfalfa patch. As the lowest | price of hay n the Arizona markets IS | SlO per ton, lt requires but little tgur- ! ing to arrive at the gross yearly income | of the alfalfa farm. For the last four years of the five, during which lime the ten acre orange orchard is coming into bearing, instead of a constant outlay and no return, or hiring out to his wealthy
 neighbors in order to make living, our
 Arizona orange and alfalfa raiser may
 take in the snug little sum of Sl4OOO per
 year. Al the close of the fifth year he Wlll
 find his alfalfa account to stand him m the
 very satisfactory sum of S56OOO. From
 this on to the eighth year hls ten acres
 of oranges will pay him, according to
 the Courier, an additional S2,UO pel
 year, giving him an annual income oi
 S16Q00. These calculations and com parisons lead us to remark that Tor larg est profits from smallest investment the
 results are largely in favor of Southern
 Arizona over any other place ID tht
 United States. In this article we have made q plain. unvarnished statement o
 facts in regard to this alfalfa business the number of cuttings per year, th'
 yield and the market price. giving th' . very lowest estimate Tn each case. ! f there is not field in the rich valleys O D the GilR and Colorado for enterprIsing
 energetic men to make money, We should like for some Christian gentleman t n point out some locality where 1t may b !, done, for the place IS not down on tn l map where a better opportunity exists

 Tom Roach, of Turkey creek district, came m yesterday afternoon. He has 8 pack tram coming this way with five tons of silver ore that will yield not less than S4S0 per ton. and the best of 1t IS, he has lots more of the same kind.
 A NIT. Cooper of Skull valley, has shown us very rich free gold rcck from & recently discovered ledge near John Dickson's. It IS opened to depth of 30 feet, and Is better than it wss at the surface. Placer mines m the same To- cshty continue to yield considerable gold.

 TUcsoS, March IS, lSS7. To the HoS. W. II. BAESEs. Judge.
 We, the grand jurors of the United States, impsneled and sworn for the March term, 1SS7, b. the above titled Court to inquire into ofrenses against the United States, have the honor to submit our tial report Bs follows:-
 We have found eight true bills against persons charged with violation of the Federal laws.
 We have ignored two such charges one against Julia A. Young, charged with attempt to murder.
 We have also inquired into the facts concerning the recent disturbances at Nogsles, Pima County Arizona, located on the Mexican border, and are satisfied from the sworn testimony given, that certain Mexican officials have used their arms for the purpose of resis ing and ob- structing United States officers while the said United States officers were ID the performance ot theIr official duties upon this side of the line. We lind that in one instance they rescued a prisoner from the United States authorities, and have repeatedly shown a disposition to in,imidste the American citizens res.d- ing ID that section of the Territory. That ill-ieeling still exists which is lia- ble to culmiHate in bloodshed. brought on by irresponsible parties from either side. unless prompt action IS taken.
 We would recommend that a smnll body of United States troops be station ed at NosRles to insure protection to life and property.
 We have examined into the facts con corning the alleged establishment ot s Mexican Custom House iE Sec. l9. town ship -, $. of R. S E. q. S $. K. NJ, and the opposition offered to Deputy |. S. Surveyor Geo. J. Roskruge when he at tempted to survey the said township. We find that such Customs House had been established, but exonerste the Mexican officials from all blame, 1t Rp- bearing to us that the said officials had been misled and that upon notification the Customs House was removed from our side of the line.
 All of which is respectfully submitted.
